very nice advice!!! already noted!!

I´ve made a document with tips for every part! the metal coils sure will be used, i just need to figure out how long line i will need!

OK!!

man, i did not got this one! I had a catch tank attached to the breather of the valve cover to pick that thick coffee with milk colored liquid that would be sprayed on engine bay on when making a long run. is there anything related to that?

very nice advice this one!!!!!

I did some simulations with my wheels, tranny, tires and rev limit. For what i´ve seem the best diff ratio is be 3.25:1 which would make me achive the goal of 0-100 km/h @8000 RPM in first gear and 330 km/h @ 7000 - 7500 RPM (i dont remeber right now the correct RPM). I will simuate with 2.70 gear, let´s see what i get!!!
